Personal Information
Career Statement
Application for Pilot Training Program – Mikhail Varfolomeev.
Dear FlyDubai Selection Committee,
Growing up in Ulyanovsk – Russia’s aviation heartland – I dedicated my career to mastering every facet of aviation operations. From fuel logistics to inflight safety, my 360° industry experience provides unique insights I now seek to leverage in your pilot cadet program.
My technical foundation began at Ulyanovsk Institute of Civil Aviation, where I studied Airport Operations and Aircraft Flight Support. As Shift Manager in the Fuel Department at Ulyanovsk Airport, I optimized refueling workflows under volatile conditions, honing precision and risk-assessment skills critical for flight planning.
To broaden my aviation perspective, I transitioned to international roles. Service positions (including high-pressure events like Formula 1 Grand Prix) cultivated customer-centric adaptability, while my role as Cabin Crew at Ethiad Airways required:
• Managing medical emergencies at 40,000 feet using protocol-driven crisis response
• Mastering aircraft systems, safety procedures, and crew resource management (CRM)
Today, I stand ready to formalize this expertise through pilot training. My frontline experience confirms that exceptional pilots command more than controls: they anticipate threats, lead teams under pressure, and inspire trust through decisive calmness.
I bring:
✅ Operational precision from aviation fuel management
✅ Safety leadership from inflight emergency response
✅ Consistent composure in irregular operations
Your cadet program is the strategic platform to transform my industry knowledge into cockpit excellence. I welcome the opportunity to discuss my alignment with your training standards.
Sincerely,
Mikhail Varfolomeev
